The DM, by nature, can't cheat since s/he is the final arbiter. ;) I completely agree with BardStephenFox : I had a horrific weekend where the PCs wiped the floor with my BBEG's second in command. They've been waiting all module to get their hands on this guy and it was over in a round : they...

Most excellent! I completely read that incorrectly. Thanks kenobi65 and Patryn of Elvenshae for pointing that out ( and giving the BBEG a leg up in the next session.) Anything else anyone would recommend? Or does it look like (minus this botch) as Seeten points out, good dice rolls and...

Details : Regular zombies (CR 1/2) : gnome necromancer 5th level. Party members: : Fighter(4), Thief(4), Cleric(4), [NPC] Sorceress(2), [NPC] Ranger(3). [EDIT] Forgot the Psion(3). Ahh...that might be it, right there. The SRD, as far as I can find, does not explicitly state that you can't...

This thread has reminded me of one of the best science fiction short-story books I've read in a while -- Ted Chiang's Stories of Your Life and Others here. The story "Understanding" is about a person who becomes hyper-intelligent and THE singularity. The story is well told (won't ruin it...

Very disappointing weekend : I'd like to know what I could've done differently. Characters enter a room with a necromancer and his 5 zombies -- DMG and U_K's system call this a "Very Difficult" encounter. Necromancer is at his desk, back against the wall (this is important later). They...

Bumpity-bump for m' question, please? :)

Dying to see this -- can't wait. Please keep us posted. Isn't there a part of the lore that post-Ragnarok, everything just begins all over again -- that the whole pantheon is caught in one continuous loop. (or have I been polluted by pop-Norse-fiction.?)

Any thoughts to modrons? They haven't been covered in 3.5 and only as a WOTC supplement for 3.0

Isn't there a popular theory that we can't predict what will be next because of the dum-dum-DUM! Singularity event? My enworld-fu fails me now, I can't find where I read it but here is where they discuss that Science fiction is in trouble b/c of the Singularity.

Didn't see anyone post this yet. From last month. https://secure.locusmag.com/2005/Issues/02RecommendedReading.html

Nice! I would love to see you do a tutorial on how you did this. -D

Where'd you get them? thnx, -D

Maybe I'm easily amused ( wait.....shiny metal ... be right back....) but I love the creature generator and haven't seen anything like it before - with all the trimmings of CR, hp, attacks,etc. How come? To me, this is an innovation and a huge selling point. Still, the randomizer is an...

Have had Vonage for many months now. Here's my issues: 911 - you know about. I don't have a standard address so I don't have this set up yet. Not a big problem, unless I have a heartattack in my apartment and someone tries dialing it. Quality : Good quality UNLESS you also have the cable...

Rumor has it .... (I think I saw it on IMDB but you can Google it as well) that Anthony Burgess wrote A Clockwork Orange in response to his wife getting beaten by 4 American GI's and losing their baby. Burgess in a sense rewrote the incident from the hoodlum's perspective. Burgess also hated...

How does a PDF book hit the shelves? :p Expect my email soon....

Just wanted to add my voice -- my heart sank when I read the title in the forum list. Her Atlas of the Land made the TC Chronciles more alive and her Atlas of Middle Earth allowed me to appreciate the expanse of the Tolkein world. deepest condolences.

Take a look here -- there's a free font called Caslon on it http://www.typenow.net/c.htm [Edit] Actually, it looks nothing like it. Oh well!

Been reading through Book of Immortals : very nice stuff, and not necessarily Epic level. You can start the Immortal progression at any level (though you should be level 15 to make some of the rolls) and it piggy-backs on top of any Epic material you do decide to use. I was expecting Epic...

I've done it twice --- funny, I was just (yesterday) thinking about doing for the BBEGs as they are travelling from town to town but got bogged down with giving away too much meta-game information. Was trying to find a way to give the players urgency that didn't seem artifical. The two that I...
